Speaking for the commission, Mr. Query stated that there ^was no law which prohibited the use of these pic tures and posters to stimulate the liquor business in which the state has entered, but that the “Christmas sea- sn being set apart for the Ohristian people to celebrate and observe the birth of Christ, ,we the members of the tax oommiasion charged with the enforcement of the liquor law jn South Carolina, want it understood that .we do not aanction the use of ' isich advertising' methods.** ^ Where are Ire headed for with our moral standircks wh^niwe place plac ards before our children in show win dows on public streets showing pic tures of Santa Claus “with arms full of toys and articles for children and a bottle of liquor”? . ~ Chriatmas is esasiitiaUy for the ahttd with Santa Claus as the central ^yid beloved theme.

Why should a goveimpr .fwad officers into Laurenrf or Pickens, or any other county, to investigate crime and law violation. There are instan ces where special constables in plain clothes are needed, but generally speaking, law enforcement and the apprehension of violators should be the duty of the sheriff and his depu ties.
